Spinach Ohitashi Recipe

Spinach is such a super nutritious vegetable, you want to eat it as often as you can. Spinach Ohitashi, cooked spinach salad, is a very popular, healthy, and of course tasty small side dish in Japan.

Ohitashi means soaked, and here spinach is soaked in Dashi sauce. Spinach doesn’t take any time to cook, so you can make this dish whenever dinner needs to be served in a hurry. Although a little step to make the Dashi sauce makes a big difference in terms of flavor, you could skip it and just drizzle soy sauce. It cannot get easier than that!
